Anyone have a Corvette watch???
I was at a Cars & Coffee recently and a C6 owner had one that didn't look too garish.
And watches are another hobby of mine.

Those are nice. I love watches too. I have a couple of Corvette watches.
If I figure out how to post a picture I will.

I don't have any Corvette watches but I do have a couple of Tag Heuer watches. Like you, I like to collect watches. When I head to Las Vegas in the fall I may buy another Tag Heuer.

Use a picture host site like tinypic or photobucket. Upload your picture to it and then copy & paste the IMG code.

If I ever came upon a tastefully made watch, with a C5 emblem (for instance) as face background, which displays day and date; I think I'd like to have one.
I don't like watches that only display a number for date.... So, how will I know what day it is???

Excellent thread...it doesn't have to have a Corvette emblem, but a watch that you love alongside your Corvette, right? Rob

I like nice watches, however I don't wear them as often as I used to since I got my iPhone.

Yes. A beautiful one with a red face. Got it as a retirement present from my peers at work. Don't wear it or any other wrist watch much lately as I have started wearing my gold pocket watch I got from my parents 34 years ago on my 25th birthday.

I had a Corvette themed watch years ago, but no longer have it. Haven't really seen one that I like since then, but haven't looked too heard either.

I love Corvettes and watches! And yes, I know that it shows Thursday, the 28th. I made the necessary adjustment and corrected the Day/Date after I took the photo.

I have a Marine Corps watch that I used to wear.
I stopped wearing it when I was told that Mickey Mouse wears a Marine Corps watch.
